I know I haven't blogged forever. Here's a list of what's gone on in our family the past 3 months so you'll know why:
1. I got called into the YW presidency as 1st counselor. I have the BEST group of girls. They all come to everything and are so cute, but I had no idea the time committment would be so great. It's like I have two full-time jobs (the other is being a mom if you wondered) and a part-time job (I still do accounting on the side).
2. Jeff got released from the Stake and called as the Elder's Quorum President. Ironically, this takes less time than his last calling, but not much. He's still gone Sunday mornings and Tuesday nights, but at least we can go out on Saturday night now instead of doing church reports (:

3. Grace turned 7 on Nov. 15th. She had a Rock Star party at Justice Just for Girls. The girls played games, got their hair and make-up done, and rocked out to Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers and other teeny bopper songs.
4. Christmas was fun. Grace had a ton of performances with her singing group and violin. We went to Zoo Lights and Festival of Trees among others. She is really coming into her own and still loves to sing.
5. Jeff and I had our 10th anniversary Dec. 30th. We celebrated by having my family up to the Christensen's cabin. Joe and Laurie were in town for only 3 days (way too short), and it was awesome to see them again. We got home at 7 pm that night and spent 3 hours taking down Christmas to get ready for...
6. Cade's 5th birthday (Dec 31st). Last year we threw together a last-minute bowling excursion and this year Cade asked me if I was going to wrap his presents. So, I promised him that this year he could have a real birthday party. We had Scales and Tails come and bring a bunch or reptiles. It was the best party...the guy reminded me of Jim Carrey. And the kids got a hands on experience with the reptiles (those who wanted to, at least).
So, that catches you up on the last few months. I will try to be better, but I'm not making promises.

What a busy lady you have been! You are such a good mom though and have such a cute family. I totally want to be just like you one day. By the way, where did Grace have her little birthday party? I have a little niece that would totally be into something like that.
Hey Jess-It's great to see you back on your blog!
What a great update on your cute family. When do you ever have time to eat or breathe? :)
Glad you are back. I hope you don't mind, but we might steal that cute picture of Annie and grace- Annie wants to put it on her blog.
I got my background from cutestblogontheblock.blogspot.com
OK Cade, you officially had the coolest birthday party in the entire universe. That is so cool. How do find out about these things Jess. Hope you are surviving all the church callings. We sure miss you guys.
Sounds like some really fun parties for your kids. I'm sure they had a blast!
Sorry you've been super busy. I'm 1st counselor in our primary presidency and I totally understand what you're saying!! It's a lot of work! Good luck with that...that's exciting! By the way your 80's pictures were hilarious!!
